Of course, if UUNET (and other BB providers) can't make enough money to keep 
their network in place and their people motivated (and compensated) properly, 
they'll have no reason to stay in business, and then the server farms will 
become regional islands anyway.

UUNET would only be interested in paying a farm that they owned!
